The Fifth Element

final decision. When the boys chose, everyone but one student agreed. The boy who did not agree thought it should be his turn and threw a fit about not being chose, Mr. Demchok, ignored the behavior.

1645, Musei di Strada Nuova, Genoa”. Although the bright red cloth that cover Icarus is replaced with a white one, this artwork still does well in beautifully capturing the other essential elements of this scene. Icarus is depicted looking over his shoulder with his head tilted slightly upward to express his cocky mood. His facial expression shows that he is not paying attention to what his father is telling him and is just brushing it off…

getting an IV. Along with the gifts that the fifth graders at Smith Elementary made we also had NJHS members from the district make fleece tie blankets. While these students were decorating and creating these products we took videos of the students giving a positive message that would be shown to the patients to let them know that they are not alone. Finally we planned a party for those patients in the hospital where we delivered the creations of the fifth graders and…

What defines a person? Life has many ups and downs, positives and negatives, and unfortunately my early life had a few more negatives as opposed to positives. The biggest negative in my life was being bullied at a young age and the struggle to overcome it. Being bullied showed me that I can prove everyone wrong and no one person or persons opinion can or should define me and my future no matter the pain it caused.

In Romeo and Juliet Act I the Prince sets a law that whoever gets in a fight will be killed. But in this scene Mercutio and Tybalt get in a fight. Tybalt won the fight and Romeo decided to fight him and killed him. Instead of death Princes punishment for Romeo was banishment from Verona.

With the fight of Tybalt and…

Scarred for life As a kid in elementary I didn’t have many friends, wouldn’t exactly talk to a lot of people, and I was kind of the “lonely” type. I was in 5th grade from what I remember. Even though I was so quiet I expressed my personality to others with my work in art, where I absolutely loved to be! I pretty much hated music because the teacher would always put the other class in front of the one I was in, I’d always kick the girl’s seat in front of me and we pretty much hated each other. To…

The Power to Win must come from Within Before I entered the school I looked it up on a webpage Zillow.com. I know that my mom and my sister would use it a lot. Especially when they were looking into moving houses or buying a home. Tulip Grove Elementary school had a rating of 8 out of 10.
